First of all Mathew 16:19 and 18:18 are you saying that GOD is going to CHANGE to accomodate a man on earth? Both scripturs pertain to this idea. Could this possibly mean that the Keys were given to Peter to loose on earth the power to preach the word of God and to bind on earth the power of...

So... Are you saying it was God the Father on the cross? Or was it the Holy Spirit, which Jesus had not sent down yet? Or was it Jesus, the Word of God become flesh that was on the cross?

You know how you Always say LOL?? I'm L'gOL right now. You speak of Christian manners and yet you LAUGH at things I say! That is not very courteous of you. As far as God being immortal, I understand what @Stranger means. It's not very easy to speak about spiritual matters. We SHOULD make an...

From those who know... Communion could NEVER be given to remarrieds. That is a DOCTRINE and it HAS BEEN CHANGED. Are you one of those Catholics who cannot stand the thought of change? It's already here. Were you not aware? Have you read Amoris Laetitia? What did you think of it? Especially Part 8?

Theologians do not agree on everything. If it does not have anything to do with salvation, I tend not to argue about it too much. If you check John 3:6, Jesus tells N "that which is born of flesh is flesh, that which is born of spirit is spirit". NASB To me this makes it seem that Jesus is...

You want names? I believe you know this just as well as I do. If you're on the inside of the CC you now some things no one else knows. The CC is undergoing some problems right now. You know what they are just as well as I do. I say we shouldn't argue so much about this stuff anymore since it is...

It takes a lot of fighting it away, doesn't it? One day the CC may change its position on this. Just like it has on giving communion to remarrieds. It also made another change recently but it doesn't come to mind. I remember thinking that they're becoming more Protestant every day. If it comes...

Some persons mix worship with veneration. It would have been nicer for you to explain this... Mary can be venerated but she cannot be worshipped. This is what's taught by the Catholic Church. P.S. I'd like to add that there is very little teaching in the CC and the members are not even...

I also remember Learning that sometimes the word cousin/Brother is difficult to understand, but other times it's easy to understand. I can't remember if I mentioned that there are some Catholic theologians that believe Jesus had brothers and it seems it also does not disturb them since they're...

Maybe I'm adding... Maybe you're subtracting? Here is what Josephus said regarding James, the Brother of Jesus: **************************************************** Josephus' reference to James the brother of Jesus And now Caesar, upon hearing the death of Festus, sent Albinus into Judea...

You've misunderstood me. To such a degree that it might be better to end this conversation. I accept full responsibility... The answer to your last question is NO. You might be right about Nicodemus. I Always believed N was referring to being born again and Jesus was answering him about being...

It seems to me that we agree. And if we do, I'd suggest you DO NOT tell people you are hyper-grace because it means something very specific. I've been called a pharisee and told I don't believe in grace because I believe what you've stated above. We can do nothing to save ourselves... but once...

I do believe she needs to remain pure for their purposes. Was she and Joseph not human? What about Joseph? Was he also pure? Why was is it not necessary for HIM to be elevated? When I was a little girl, I had the idea that Jesus was for the boys and Mary was for the girls. Maybe I wasn't so far...

I agree! I am sola scriptura NOT solo scriptura. I was taught by the Catholic Church, where I've also taught, and also by a Nazarene Church. I DO NOT believe anyone should read the bible on their own and come up with their own understanding. Some of it, though, does have to be our...

They insist upon being the mediators for God because the Catholic Church is the original Church. This cannot be denied if history is Worth anything. As far as brothers or sisters of Jesus: It may come as a surprise to some here but I'm sure that Marymog and BreadofLife both know that there are...

I do believe the above is a great post. I do, however, find that in some instances in the N.T. it's very clear that the word "brothers" means exactly that. James is clearly stated to be a Brother of Jesus. Josephus stated that Jesus had, if I remember correctly, as LEAST one Brother named...

I also have never found any. It may not have seemed important to them, who can know? As far as raising Mary to a high ideal: I'm not too happy with the church's elevation of Mary to ALMOST a co-redemptrix, and at this rate, she might actually be named with this title one day. I know that...

Mary, the above is for Oz. I just need to say that I don't care for St. Augustine - he got more than one thing wrong and disagreed with the other ECF many times. I like Aquinas and other ECF, but I like to keep away from Augustine. So, in this case, Oz might be right! (as he many times is).

Hi Mary, I say as far as what I can see as being biblically correct because, yes, I do feel that I have to feel comfortable in a Church and agree with at least 90% of its doctrine. For instance, I would NOT attend a WoF Church because it goes against what I believe. We all believe we have the...

I don't know if we're discussing the same concept. I am NOT a hyper-grace believer. Hyper grace is a movement within the Christian Church. Hyper grace believes that no work is necessary from believers because Jesus has already done everything and there's nothing left for us to do BUT BELIEVE...
